The Delhi High Court has ruled that a daughter-in-law does not have an indefeasible right of residence in a shared household under the Domestic Violence Act (DVA).
- The High Court was dealing with an appeal challenging the impugned judgment and decree dated 10.07.2018 passed in a Civil Suit.
- Justice Yogesh Khanna stated that in the case of a shared household, there is no embargo upon the owner of the property to claim eviction of his daughter-in-law.
- The right of residence under Section 19 of the DV Act is not an indefeasible right of residence in shared household, especially, when the daughter-in-law is pitted against aged father-in-law and mother-in-law.
